“Me yours to hold it high"
Hammond High, once educator stressing busi-
ness and appreciation of higher living . . . once
geared to peace-time pursuits ■ . .
Students once care-free, complacent, unburden-
ed by doubt and fear . . .
Now a battle bringing long hoped for realiza-
tions of national unity and international equality
and understanding . . .
Untrained, unprepared, carefree, and indif-
ferent, we ourselves with our hopes, our dreams,
could be shattered.
Hammond High School converted to war-time
education reached through cooperation . . •
Hammond High reorganizing its curricula, giving
students and teachers to active participation in
the armed forces, launching successful stamp
selling campaigns, collecting quantities of scrap
metal and paper . . . willingly accepting the
responsibility of training better citizens to win
the war and to insure fair and lasting peace to
tollow . . .
Faced with the competitors of doubt, unrest,
adventure and excitement, the school has with
foresight and planning shown the student the
value of his heritage of freedom, equality, and
opportunity, and of the need to hold, to pro-
tect, and to improve that heritage of American
ideals.

urriculum
Changed to meet
war time demands
Irresponsible students, care-free . . .
thinking little of a future appar-
ently secure ... of a struggle seem-
ingly remote. . .
Courses measured only by a grade,
or at least by their worth to the in-
dividual in preparation for his own
success. . .
Then ... a war . . • and with it
changed courses, reorganized cur-
ricula, and a new meaning for edu-
cation. College preparatory mathe-
matics courses, new science courses
and aeronautics to better prepare
students for service with the armed
forces. . .
Home nursing to relieve in some
measure the shortage of doctors
and nurses, and serious study in
modern problems, classes of post-
war problems.
Hammond High, a school with an
added purpose not only to prepare
to win a fight but to plan for a
peace as well, that will bring the

ssociation Conducted Metal and Paper Drives
Every pupil in Hammond High is a member of the
Hammond High School Association. Although its main
bodies are the officers, the cabinet, Senate, House of
Representatives, and Court, every student is included
and expected to participate in its activities.
.[im Cole was president and superintendent through
a very successful year. Andy Granack was vice-presi-
dent and speaker of the House. Recorder was Sally
Hathaway. The president’s cabinet consisted of the
following: Secretary of Student Activities, Bcrnie Bolls;
Secretary of Public Safety, Betty Carley; Secretary of
Student Discipline, Bill Bucha; Secretary of Red Cross,
Marge Wiedemann; and Secretary of Student Publicity,
Jennie Korellis.
Ten senators, three seniors, three juniors, two sopho-
mores, and two freshmen represented their classes in
the upper house. The lower house was made up of one
representative of each advisory. The court, consisting
of a student from every class, conducted and judged
trials.
Many activities were sponsored by the Association
with the majority of them being directly or indirectly
connected with the war effort.
One of the first presentations of the governing bodv
was that of a service flag which boasts 895 stars, each
representing a former student of Hammond High.
An outstanding auditorium session, "United Nations
Day,” was given showing the typical costume and
characteristics of each of the allied nations.
A welcome to new students was extended through
a special assembly introducing the officers, their duties,
and all of the clubs and organizations offered at Ham-
mond High.
Contributing to the salvage drive was the huge
amount of metal and paper given by students during
a campaign for that purpose.
Over a local network the functions of the Associa-
tion were explained and the officers were introduced to
the public. Also over the air a quiz show was given
featuring the House and the Senate.
A Christmas tree decorated and set up in the main
hall was the gift of the Association.
A rousing pep sesison was sponsored before the sec-
tional basketball tourney in order to cheer our team
on to victory.
The student government had as its guests a delega-
tion from the student council of a Mishawauka high
school which they entertained in the fall.
Bob Lynch, a member of the Senate, who was presi-
dent of the Indiana Association of High School Student
Councils, conducted the activities of the association and
the election for new officers entirely by mail because the
inter-school convention which was to be held at Ham-
mond High was cancelled due to the war.
Association week was held during May 10-14. Each
day had a different theme, and activities on that day
carried out their respective themes. Monday was to
train the students in responsibility and was student
teacher day. Carefully prepared plans of the elected
teachers were checked by committee of students. On
Tuesday, cooperation and participation in auditorium
sessions was stressed. In the afternoon a student sing
was held. A student poll had been held to determine
the top choice of songs in Hammond High. Wednes-
day stressed training in citizenship. Election of sena-
tors and house of representative members was held.
Thursday was participation in the war effort day. A
scrap drive was held, and the cafeteria aided the drive
in contributing a great number of tin cans.
All during the week, association officers, senate,
house, and cabinet members had a stamp and bond
drive. Regular bond salesmen gave up their duties and
advisory stamp sales were turned over to the House
member. Army ranks were bestowed on each sales-
men as his sales grew. Top final ranks were as follows:
Generals — $1,000 or more: Carol Orr, Jim Bacon,
Jim Hulett.
Colonels — $500: Katy Greene and Dick Hum-
pheys.
Lieutenant Colonel — $250: Bill Lengyl and Do-
lores Sismour.
Following the All School Revue, and during the dance
that same evening, the Association conducted a refresh-
ment booth in the lower hall.
Of extreme interest was the advisory basketball
tournament sponsored by the student government. Miss
E. McCullough’s flashy advisory demonstrated their
ability by capturing the championship.
Large American flags were purchased for each ad-
visory through Suggestion and direction of the Asso-
ciation.
A very successful, patriotic year may well be credited
to the Association officers, cabinet, Senate, House,
Court and students.

onitors Kept Malls in Order
Familiar to everyone is the call of the monitors
"Admit, please.” There were eighty-five monitors, plus
substitutes this year. Their duty is to keep order in
the halls in addition to checking lockers, enforcing
admit regulations and directing visitors in the building.
Those who are chosen to serve as monitors must not
only be dependable and reliable but must also have a
strong sense of justice toward fellow students.
The monitors greatest task is signing admits. If
admits are found to be illegal, court notices arc issued
after which the violator is subjected to the rule of the
court.
This year a more efficient system was established
whereby going to lockers during periods was considered
the same as an unsatisfactory excuse for tardiness.
The monitors were under the sponsorship of Miss
Mary Burhans and Betty Carley, this year’s student
captain.

M
ousc of Representatives Sponsored Slag Drive
The chief duty of the House of Representatives is
to help to make school laws. During this term the group
discussed and acted upon several school projects.
One of these projects was to provide an American
flag for each room in the school. The representatives
collected money in their respective advisories and
turned it into the committee in charge. After all
money had been collected the committee purchased
identical three by five flags which now can be seen in
each advisory in the building.
In the spring a clean-up drive was held. Its purpose
was to clean up the grounds around Hammond High
and to impress the students to keep them clean.
The House also aided the Senate in several other
drives. The paper and scrap drives conducted through-
out the year proved successful. Each week several
hundred pounds were collected.
To procure names for the service flag the House
sponsored a registration book in the main hall.
Several auditorium sessions were under the spon-
sorship of the House. A pep session was held during
the football season to bring more students out to the
games. The dedication of the service flag also took place
in an auditorium session.
In the spring the House took charge of the election
of officers for the following year.
A student teacher day was sponsored by the House.
On that day each class chose one of its members to act
as teacher while the regular teacher assumed the posi-
tion of a student.
Mr. Overman was faculty advisor of the House of
Representatives and Andy Granack, Association vice-
president, was student head.

oeial Representatives Mad Ad- Round Program
An authentic undersea setting was constructed for
the "Starfish Serenade,” the first dance of the year
held in October. Ted Nering’s orchestra furnished the
musical setting for the dance, at which the social rep-
resentatives sold cold drinks.
The November party was called "Farmer Stack’s
Party,” and so the students donned their pinafores and
overalls to enjoy the square dancing, social dancing, and
numerous games. It was urged that there be no "dates”
at the party where hot dogs, pop, and ice cream were
sold.
At the "Christmas Nocturne,” a dress dance, the
holiday spirited crowd danced around a brightly adorned
tree to the music of Johnny Kay and his orchestra.
Other decorations were snow-covered boughs through-
out the room, groups of joyful carolers, and several
Santa Clauses.
Another success was "The Big Blow,” where movies
of Russ Morgan’s orchestra and of Popeyc were shown.
The social representatives conducted the games through-
out the lower halls and sold caramel corn, ice cream,
and pop. For dancing the magnavox was used for the
first time with a new amplifying system.
After the annual All School Revue a dance was given
in the boys’ gym with the decorations of a winter
playground scene. The music was supplied by Mickey
Isley’s band.
The annual spring dance was the last activity of the
year. The decorations suggested a jungle theme.
The social representatives also had a private party.
A chili supper was served after which the representa-
tives played a number of new games in order to acquaint
themselves with the games so that they could conduct
them at future parties.
Under the direction of Miss L. Strange, faculty spon-
sor of social activities, and Bernie Bolls, secretary of
student activities, the organization, made up of mem-
bers from each advisory, extended the recreational ac-
tivities and improved school spirit. The committees for
the activities were the decoration committee, headed
by Jean Chapman and Sue Tanchala; the entertainment,
orchestra, and program committees, headed by Helen
Barnes; and the publicity committee, headed by Jim
Cobb and Phyllis Durgy.
Two of the outstanding projects of the year were
the weekly dancing class, with the social representa-
tives as teachers, and the after school dances.

To create, maintain, and extend high standards of
Christian character in school and community . .
is the purpose of the Hi-Y. This organization is
nation-wide and Bob Moore of Hammond High was
vice-president of the state chapter. The Hammond
High School Hi-Y Club was led by Wade Adams and
George Krueger. The platform of the club consisted
of clean sportsmanship, clean scholarship, clean speech,
and clean living.
The Hi-Y sponsored an auditorium session during
Brotherhood Week. A round-table discussion was held
which featured the Reverend Loren Stein, representing
the Protestant faith, Rabbi Feinberg, the Jewish faith,
Msgr. Reinig, the Catholic faith, and Dr. Dennis Bea-
thca, a prominent colored physician.
Twenty members of the Hammond High Hi-Y at-
tended the state conference at Indianapolis in November.
1/ kad 114 Members
The programs for the club meetings were very stim-
ulating. The Reverend Loren Stein of the United
Brethren Church and Mr. L. L. Caldwell, superintendent
of Hammond schools, spoke. Also four movies were
shown which were "Tanks in Action,” "Building a
Bomber,” "The Colleges and Universities of the United
States,” and "Their Part in the War Training Program”
The club of 114 members had over twenty-seven
separate religions represented; yet the basis of the entire
program was Christian character. It was a definite
approach to youth’s problems. The club was an out-
standing example of religious understanding, apprecia-
tion, and tolerance.
Those helping the presidents during the year were
George Krueger and Bill Haberman, vice-presidents;
Bill Haberman and Wes Wagenblast, secretaries; and
Dick McHenry, treasurer. Mr. C. M. Seddelmeyer is
the faculty sponsor.

editions, Sally Hathaway was managing editor, Phyllis
Johnstone was news editor, Betty Turnquist edited
feature articles with the assistance of Phyllis Lcnnertz,
and Eugene Ince and Joe Mahlie were co-editors of
sports. Reporters were Phyllis Durgy, Gus Lanier, Fred

The business staff consisted of Helen Fites, business
manager; Phyllis Tucker and Dorothy Vcrboom, co-ad
managers with llean Stocker and Pat Todd as their
assistants; Florence Barbauld, head of the circulation
department with Steve Bronson and Bill Ischie assisting
her. Typists were Alice Lcdwinka, Ina Mac Pointer,
and Dorothy Clarke.
The staff printed 1,500 copies of the Herald which,
besides topping all previous records, was approximately
ninety per cent of the total number of students.
Roto supplements of four to eight pages were oc-
casionally distributed to paid subscribers with the com-
pliments of the staff.
An innovation was the sale of Heralds at a news
stand in the halls. In spite of priorities, labor shortage,
and high prices, the regular number of issues was pub-
lished with no increase in price to the subscriber.
Six special issues were written for the students. A
fourteen page Christmas issue, containing original short
stories, poems, and vignettes, was published before the
holidays. Students enjoyed an April Fool issue which
was made up of articles containing the least truth pos-
sible. Besides a large Easter issue, there was a special
graduation edition consisting entirely of activities and
work of seniors.
A cub edition was published each semester by special
cub staffs. For the first semester, Marge Mellon was
editor-in-chief; Marion Christenson, managing editor;
Alice Clover, ad manager; Eugene Ince, sports editor.
The editor of feature articles was Phyllis Lcnnertz, and
news editor was Phyllis Johnstone.
Joyce McVey edited the second cub paper, assisted
by the following staff: Eleanor Hess, managing editor;
Doris Kaplan, news editor; Dorothy Peck, feature edi-
tor; and Larry Weiss, sports editor. The business
manager was Bill Ischie, and Joe Wawro had charge of
circulation.
Hammond High had five members in the Quill and
Scroll, an organization which is open to the most out-
standing seniors on the staff. Members must also have
been in the upper third of their class scholastically,
must have held a major position on the staff and must
have made a valuable contribution to the paper. Dolores
Giesecke, Sally Hathaway, Helen Fites, Florence Bar-
bauld, Betty Fae Chaykcn, and Betty Turnquist were
members. The Quill and Scroll sponsored an auditorium
program in the spring. An impressive party was given
by them, at which new members of the group were
received and honored. Among the guests were students
chosen for the staff of 1943-44.
Three members of the Herald staff, Dolores Giesecke,
Bud Ince and Charles Hess, wrote the dialogue for the
All School Revue.
Eugene Ince, sports editor, was honored by having
his column "Inquest” reprinted iri "Speculating in
Sports,” an article in the Hammond Times, by John
Whitaker.
The advisor proclaimed 1943 a banner year for ef-
fective editorials which were directly responsible for
improvements in the school. Some of these promoted
numerous campaigns throughout the school, advised
pupils about use of material in the building, encouraged
school spirit, and stressed the importance of cooperation.
The Herald went all out for the war effort with
cartoons, photographs, reprints of United States Treas-
ury mats, news stories, and editorials urging students
to support the effort.
A tentative plan of the Calumet Herald was to honor
a local journalist by naming the Hammond High
chapte of Quill and Scroll for him.

Symbolic Zorek of democracy and freedom
becomes Z kerne of 1943 Dunes
"To you from failing hands wc throw the torch;

and his staff included Marilyn Moore, Jim Cieplucha,
Pat Kcnncll, Shirley Wente, Fay Rector, Maurice Cox,
and Rani Kieth. Trina Seaney was the bookkeeper.
Jim Cieplucha, publicity manager, and Kermit
Clyne put on the subscription drive at the beginning
of the year. Their staff of Charlotte Kingston and Rani
Kieth, with the help of the art department, made all
the torches and colored them according to the number
of books sold per room in each advisory. The sub-
scription campaign netted over 1,100 subscriptions.
The entire Dunes staff wishes to acknowledge Miss

Dorothy Lichtsinn is head bookkeeper; Angelo Tan-
crcdi has charge of current cash; George Tsatsos

/L ibrary Staff Consisted of One Mundred
and Steven Members
Miss Hawver, school librarian, had a very capable
staff of one hundred and eleven members to assist her
in the library. The staff consisted of forty-two desk
helpers, room workers, and extra helpers, besides sixty-
nine study hall librarians.
The desk helpers checked in material, answered the
telephone, arranged the card files, and gave general
information to the students. The room workers sup-
plied pupils with reference material, shelved books and
took attendance. Filing magazines, newspapers and
pamphlets, typing, and extra shelving were the tasks
of the extra workers.
Each study hall had a librarian and a substitute,
whose duty it was to get books and magazines from
the library for students in the study halls. This was
done in order that more people could use the material
in the library.
The library received many gifts from various school
clubs and organizations. Fourteen groups contributed
one hundred and six dollars toward the purchase of new
books. The senior class, as is customary, gave several
books to the school library.
Page Sixty-one
Every student in Hammond High is a member of
the Junior Red Cross. There is a representative council
made up of one member from each advisory. This
council holds a meeting every two weeks and the rep-
resentatives report to their respective advisories the
business to be carried on.
Officers of the council were Marjorie Wiedemann,
president; Frances Fary, vice-president; Jacqueline
Stone, secretary; and Jean Kohl, treasurer. Miss Zella
Von Gremp sponsors the group.
In November a membership campaign was held to
swell the funds of the council. Each student who con-
tributed, received a membership card. The council
netted one hundred dollars.
In March another drive was held to aid the Senior
Red Cross in their campaign. The students contributed
nearly two hundred dollars.
Mrs. Burruss from the Senior Red Cross told the
members the importance of the Red Cross work during
wartime.
Miss Mae Kessing, Hammond High Spanish teacher,
spoke on customs and students in Mexico today.
Miss Janet Jones told about blood donors, why they
are important, and where the blood plasma goes.
Members of the club spent many hours making
supplies for service men. These articles included sewing
kits, ditty bags, sweaters, sox, checker boards, jig saw
puzzles and other games for pastime in army hospitals
and convalescent homes.
Besides doing a great deal of work for those in service,
the members of the Junior Red Cross provided enter-
tainment for the people in the County Infirmary in
Crown Point. A party was also given for the children
of the Bethany Home.

ress Club .Honored Benjamin franklin
and Horace Moan
The boys of the Press Club were not as active this
year as in previous years because many of the boys had
jobs to help in the war effort.
The club made a trip through the Hammond Times
Building to see how a larger newspaper is published.
The group also had movies to honor Benjamin Frank-
lin’s birthday, and made calendars in commemoration
of Horace Mann, who rendered much service to public
schools.
The club is organized to print advertising, tickets,
and Hammond High publications.
Tom Leeney and Max Fischer represented the Press
Club in a quiz program over WJOB and defeated Phyllis
Johnstone and Yvonne Petrie of the Speech Arts Club.

interest in creative writing. Each member was required
to write a poem, essay, or short story upon admittance
into the organization. Due to the war, the "Cresset,”
former publication of the club, could not be published.
The majority of club meetings were spent in reading
and criticizing the members’ work. Miss Helen Kennedy

Newly Organized
Since the termination of the S.P.Q.R. two years
ago, Latin students have not been organized. This year
under the sponsorship of Miss Buck and Miss Pritchard,
all Latin students, sophomores or upper-classmen, who
had an active interest, organized under the name of
the Junior Classical League.
The purpose of this club is to stimulate an interest
in Latin and to bring Latin students together.
An initiation party and program were held with fifty
four members attending. During meetings two Latin
plays were presented. Most of the members participated,
either in the plays or in the chorus which supplied
Latin songs for the plays.
Each member received a card of certification for
membership. Emblems were presented to the members
either in the shape of pins or pendants.

Spanish Club, sponsored by Miss Kcssing. Officers dur-
ing the first semester were Caroline Quinn, president;
Virginia Morgcnthaler, vice-president; Richard Stephens,
secretary; and Keith Gilchrist, treasurer.
One of the club’s major activities was an auditorium
session entitled "Pan-American Day,” given on April

Quinn, a skit which centered around a balcony scene,
Spanish music sung by members of the club, and several
Mexican selections sung by Senor Don Maya of radio
fame, was also presented for the Maywood P.-T.A. and
the Women’s Club of Hammond.
Each meeting was conducted entirely in Spanish and

giving party. As part of the entertainment the mem-
bers carved figures of turkeys, pilgrims, and other ap-
propriate Thanksgiving articles out of potatoes and
other materials.
During the Yulctide season another party was held.
At this party each member brought a Christmas gift
for a grab bag.

the importance of safety wherever school children are
concerned.
Judge Stodola of the Hammond City Court was an-
other prominent speaker enjoyed by the club.
Various movies were shown to the group expressing
the idea of conserving through careful use and knowl-
edge of the mechanism of the automobile. The relation
between the deterioration of the automobile and such
acts as speeding, quick starts, and sudden stops were
pointed out through movies.
A movie entitled "The Pennsylvania Turnpike”
showed the building of this modern highway from start
to finish and pointed out the sure methods of safety and
speed to be employed in such super highways of to-
morrow.
A mid-term party was given in the girls’ gym for
the initiation of new members.

were divided into two groups — the Junior Girl Reserves
and the Senior Girl Reserves.
In the junior division Carol Nellis was president;
Mary Kinsey, vice-president; Florence Barbauld, secre-
tary; and Edith Miller, treasurer.
The senior members chose Jean Thon, president;

for the service men. They made service kits, knitted
and crocheted afghans and made greeting cards.
Several of the members also did some typing for
the Junior Red Cross.

ovie Operators Showed Pictures at
Purdue Zraining Classes
Since visual aids have come to take their place
among major classroom methods of teaching, the Movie
Operators’ Club was organized in order that more oper-
ators would be well-trained and available. Mr. Seddle-
meyer instructed and sponsored the club.
The operators were taught the mechanisms of silent
and sound machines and the proper method of operating
them. This training period required six weeks, after
which time each new member observed activities while
a veteran operator showed a movie. When the movie
was to be shown, an operator was called from his study
hall. Chief operator was Marvin Shamon and Jack
Abrahamson was in charge of equipment.
To provide equipment and operators for the Purdue
University War Training classes that met at Hammond
High was another important activity of the club.

fetology Club Saw Many Pets
Of particular interest were the reports given at the
meetings of the Biology Club by its members because
in many instances the speaker had his pet with him to
show its characteristics and habits. Sid Lanier’s raccoon
"Ricky,” proved to be very amusing, and a white
rabbit romped playfully while Eleanor Bock explained
her pet’s eating and sleeping customs. Other reports
were about tropical fish and insects.
Because the transplanting of plants is so important in
the work of the club, whose job it is to take care of
all the plants in the library, cafeteria, study halls and
on the stair landings, Joe Pugh demonstrated the correct
way in which to do this.
In October a party was held at which time new
members were informally received into the club after
a rousing initiation.
Sid Lanier and Joe Pugh were chosen as presidents;
Joe Pugh and Eleanor Bock, vice-presidents; Ernestine
Turner and Eleanor Hanford, secretaries; and Carolyn
Cheek and Betty Medvid, treasurers. Miss Crystal
Reeder is sponsor for the club.

ales men Sold Approximately $. 50.000 in Ronds
and Stamps
Buying stamps and bonds during 1942 and 1943
was the patriotic duty of every Hammond High School
student. The cooperation of the students and faculty
made it possible to sell approximately $50,000 in
stamps and bonds.
Several drives were undertaken during the year and
each proved successful. The first drive took place on
December seventh. On that day $694.65 in stamps and
$3,000 in bonds were sold. The second drive was the
drive for "jeeps.” During that time the school bought
seven and two advisories bought one each, making a
total of nine jeeps. The two advisories who bought
the jeeps were Miss Dietrich’s and Miss E. McCul-
lough’s. The next drive was conducted by the Asso-
ciation during Association Week. At that time the
regular salesmen turned their duty over to the House
representative in each advisory. In this drive $14,325
in bonds and stamps were sold.
The continuous buying of stamps and bonds came
under the supervision of advisory salesmen and hall
salesmen. The salesmen were responsible to Pat Kennell,
student chairman, and the faculty committee consist-
ing of Miss Eunice McCullough, chairman, and Miss
Betty Alderton.
The following students were salesmen: Jean Chap-
man, Marian Dean, Norma Dicderich, Edna Mac Farcus,
Shirley Fuller, Jeanne Johns, Don Kuehlc, Ruth Machta,
Mari Ice MacLeod, Dorothy Matosec, Dorothy Mc-
Cready, Thelma Miller, Angclinc Prucnal, Pat Schau-

raine Hoeppncr, Maridec Shobe, Tom Scott, Eleanor
Bock, and Marilyn Krause.
Bernice Newman, Marge Mellon, Virginia Quick,
Viola Otvos, Mary Jane Tolies, Marge Toth, and
Thelma Miller were hall salesmen.

A peace-time athletic program filled
with great excitement and keen
competition in all major and minor
sports. . . Grim dismay when one
of a Wildcat eleven loses the pig-
skin, great interest in golf, tennis,
swimming and track. A student
body proud of trophies . . high
school fellows interested in sports.
That was before . . . now today we
have a job with thoughts of the
future.
A new athletic program, curtailed
by war-time transportation, and
conscious of the war-time exigen-
cies for strong bodies, fearless sol-
diers, an invulnerable national
force. . .
Compulsory commando training .
the construction of an obstacle
course . . . tough calisthenics, cross-
country runs, hurdles . . . walls to
scale, and the paddle, a mark of
discipline-
All this a new note at Hammond
High, but one willingly accepted as
the stride forward ... as the com-
munity and nation’s demand for
strong physical training, to be ap
plied soon on the world's fighting
fronts.
Purple Steven Showed Zearn Spirit
The Wildcats opened the season with a smashing
victory over Horace-Mann 19-0 on September 11.
Touchdowns were made by Krueger, Bindas, and Cooper
and tribute was also paid to Scott and Piatek for their
expert ball handling. A great season was generated
for Hammond High.
In the second game the Cats used powerful of-
fensive tactics and defeated Parker High of Chicago
25-0. Although Parker was rather weak, the Purple
gridders’ hopes were high for Bernie Krueger was prov-
ing to be an excellent halfback making runs "worth
talking about.”
George Rogers Clark came to Hammond High with
one of the best teams in the history of the Pioneer
school, determined to defeat the Wildcats. But aftei
a hard-fought battle and plenty of brawn displayed
from both sides, the game ended with a tie 12-12.
Despite two defeats, Hammond’s spirit was high
for the Washington game. However, bad luck seemed
to be in line with the Wildcats that evening for their
three touchdowns made in the first quarter of the
game were all called back. The Senators, who later be-
came State Champs, were too good for the Cats once
they started rolling, and as a result, the game ended
with a final score of 21-6 with Washington on top.
The Emerson game was a great disappointment to
the Wildcats for they were defeated 27-0. In spite of
the fact that the Cats used brilliant tactics against
the Tornadoes, Emerson’s ability and experience out-
weighed that of Hammond’s. However, a victory in
mind in the next game with Roosevelt spurred the
Wildcats on. But they were defeated again in a heart-
breaking game by a score of 13-7, when in the last
quarter Teddy Zych started for an end sweep, reversed
his field, and ran for a touchdown, giving the Rough
Riders a lead of six points at the end of the game.
In the next battle the Purple eleven traveled to
South Bend to encounter the Central Bear Cats who
proved to be tougher than Hammond anticipated.
Krueger’s spectacular touchdown run was the only re-
deeming factor for the Cats, as they were crushed by
the Bears 25-7.
To defeat Whiting was one tradition which the
Wildcats felt they must live up to. Brilliant playing
and expert ball handling was shown in this game when
again Krueger sparked the victory over the Oilers 13-6.
On November 6 the Cats traveled to Toledo, Ohio,
to embattle against Libbey High School for the first
time in HHS history. Libbey had a strong defensive
line, but in spite of this, Krueger managed to break
through for two long runs giving Hammond its 13
points. This did not compare with the scoring ability
of Libbey, however, which was brought to a grand
total of 35 points.
For the final game of the season the Purple eleven
played host to the Tech Tigers and won with a de-
cisive score of 30-0.

ildcats End Season With IO-S Record
Kessler’s hardwood boys won 10 out of the 18
games this year, and were defeated 42-36 by Roose-
velt in the sectional tourney.
The season started by the Wildcats being downed
by the Emerson Tornadoes 29-28. In the next three
games they defeated Washington, Valporaiso, and
Tech by respective scores of 31-20, 41-37, and 31-22.
Meeting Fort Wayne (Central), the Wildcats lost in
an overtime 33-31. Then came the Clark game and
a Wildcat victory of 57-46. The fireworks started
after the Clark contest. Froebcl, South Bend (Cen-
tral), and Roosevelt all won over the hapless Wild-
cats. The respective scores were 41-35, 54-30, and
43-39. The Cats bounced right back and victory
was theirs in the next two games with Washington
48-34, and Tollcston 40-31. The next game was a
heartbreaker for the Purple, being defeated by Tech
in a "nip and tuck” game in the fourth quarter when
the Tigers surged ahead to win with a final score of
29-24. The Purple five did not let this defeat get
them down and won their next three games; 49-32
over Valpo, 55-43 over Clark, and 55-34 over Whit-
ing. Traveling to Muncie, Hammond was on the
losing end of the score of 34-29. Bad luck followed
them the next week to Gary where they played Lew
Wallace and lost 30-46. The Wildcats finished the
season with a grand flourish, beating Horace Mann
57-22.
February 15th at 8 P. M. Hammond met Roose-
velt on the Rough Riders’ floor where the Wildcats
held their own until the last three minutes of the
fourth quarter when four Cats went out on fouls.
This exciting 32 minutes of play ended with the Roose-
velt five topping the Wildcats 42-36.

Mermen Win State and Conference
This year, despite the drawback of change of
coaches in mid-season and lack of practice, the purple
tankmen had a top season. They won their four dual
meets, the conference, and their fourth consecutive
State championship. This was the first time that the
team has won both the conference and the State meets
in the same season.
Robert Prendergast, conference champion, who won
the 220 -yard free style, was the only one of the team
to be a first place winner in the meet. Walter Gumula,
State champion, who was the only first place winner
in this meet, won the 150-yard free style. Although
there was only one first place winner in the conference
and the State, the team’s victory in these meets was
due to the balanced power of the team. Only one
champion in each, but the second and third place win-
ners, of which there was a quantity, were the reason
for their victory.

Harriers Zake City and Sectional
The outdoor season opened on April 7 with a city
meet. Hammond took top honors, receiving first in
twelve out of thirteen events. Hammond Tech was
the only outsider to break the Wildcat monopoly of
the first place ribbons. Dawson of Hammond High
was the only athlete to take two first places. He won
120 high hurdles and the high jump.
In the East Chicago relays, Hammond High broke
one of three records while grabbing 6 of 12 first
places, including team mile, team shot put, two-mile
relay, and the 880 relay. Hammond High’s two-mile
team broke their respective record selling a new low
of an 8:44 race.
In the Western Division, Hammond High scored
65 points against Emerson’s 53 to win. The Wildcats
snatched five firsts in mile relay, 880 relay, 100 -yard
dash, 220-yard run and 440-yard run.
On May 8 Hammond High placed second in the
Northern Indiana Conference track meet. The har-
riers came in second to North Side Fort Wayne who
have proved a jinx all season. North Side hoisted their
total to 40 against 43 points for Hammond. The
Wildcats won one first place in the individual events
with Fred Rchder putting forth a 52-second effort in
the 440, got a first in the mile relay, and finished
second in the 880 relay.
The harriers splashed to the sectional track victory
through a steady rain. They ran up a total of 55 '/>
points against 20 /z for Roosevelt of East Chicago, the
second place winners. Winning this meet keeps alive
the harries’ hopes of ousting Nort hSide Fort Wayne
for the state track and field championship.
On the team were as follows: Barker, Boldt, Clark,
Sampson, and Homrich, milers; Boldt, Homrich, and
Gapinski, 880 men; Rchder, Ford, Van Buskirk, and
Brauer, 440 men; Grambo, House, Humphrey, 100
men; Piatt, G. Krueger, and Templeton, shot putters;
Templeton, Humphrey, and B. Krueger, broad jump-
ers; Dawson, high jumper; Elm, Scott, and Roberts,
pole vaulters; J. Scott, Buck, low hurdlers; Brauer,
Van Buskirk, Rchder, Boldt, and Homrich, mile relay;
Humphrey, B. Krueger, Templeton, Grambo, House,
and Patterson, 880 relay.
Cross Country Wins S Dual Meets
The 1942-1943 cross country team was the best
in years. It won eight out of eight dual meets beating
Lowell 19-36, Emerson 18-57, Roosevelt 15-40, Edison
of Gary 15-40, Washington 15-40, Clark 17-38, and
Lew Wallace 25-32. The Clark meet was an invita-
tional meet to which most of the teams in northern
Indiana were invited. Hammond came in first with
Horace Mann placing second and Hobart third.
The team was coached by "Whitcy” Wonsowitz
and consisted of Byran Clark, senior; Dick Sampson,
sophomore; Jay Harbin, senior; Walter Boldt, senior;
Ray Ban Buskirk, junior; David Ford, junior; Eugene
Barker, junior; Jim Federoff, sophomore; and Bob Hom-
rich, senior. Barker and Clark were high men with
34 points and sophomore Sampson was third with 32
points.
The "B” team also had an excellent season. They
won both of their dual meets, beating Roosevelt 19-36
and Clark 20-35. They also won the annual "B” cross
country meet, and the individual city champion was
Dick Sampson.

Sole Event Won Zkis Xjear by Seniors Was Swimming
Splashing their way to a hard earned victory this
year was the senior swimming team. History was
made by this senior team, it being the only event in
which the senior class made any showing this year.
This victory also marks the first swimming cham-
pionship this senior class, the class of ’43, has won
during its four years of participation.
Being small but nevertheless speedy, the champion-
ship senior team included Naugle, Highsmith, Wente,
Keith, and Northrup.
Harmon, Dorsey, Curtner, and Erickson made up
the junior team.
Swimming sophs were E. Thompson, C. Thomp-
son, Van Camp, Kundc, and Lyons.
The greenies were represented by P. Thompson,
Gabovich, Seitsinger, M. Beebe, Oltz, Witter, M.
Gardner.
Sophs Win Jnterclass basketball Championship
After the slow process of narrowing down the
girl cage enthusiasts into class teams, the interclass
basketball meets were held during mid-April through
the double elimination process. Only three class teams
were chosen due to the fact that the seniors sent no
representatives, and thus could enter no team.
The sophomores defeated the fighting frosh with
a score of 12-9, while the freshmen came out vic-
torious over the juniors with a score of 10-9 in these
"win or kill” battles.
The championship sophomore lineup included
Haag, Jensen, Heath, Matosec, Korchidas, Deitrich,
Durgy, A. House, Kunde, and Bock.
The small junior team had only six members:
Hoeppner, Griener, Mclvcr, Erlenbaugh, Garber and
Thon.
The large fighting freshman team included Bagby,
Gibson, Massack, Patrick, Church, Wolf, Hill, Sutton,
Storm, Lowrey, Tohcy, Staniszewski, and Wiker.
The all-star team consisted of Hoeppner, Mclver,
Haag, Jensen, Matosec, House, Bagby, Gibson, Hill,
and Storm.
{juniors Cake Honors in Volley ball
Opening the girls’ sports season with a bang was
the volleyball season. In this event only three classes
participated, those being freshmen, sophomores, and

Many Qirl Mhletes Participate in bowling
Bowling is a seemingly new sport to Hammond
High although not new to the athletically inclined
students. The following Hammond Highers partici-
pated in bowling, meeting at the Calumet Bowling
Alley every Wednesday: M. Davis, J. Eckert, O.
Brown, D. McEachern, M. Bieriger, P. Messenger, M.
Hcgedus, M. Bilner, R. Barton, J. Gardner, G. Pan-
cheri, S. Quint, H. Quint, J. Gillam, M. Pelc, D.
Stiglitz, and H. Turner.
Betty Jane Burch was chosen as the group’s cap-
tain. The group has been active for only two years.
It was organized by Kay Kimmel in 1941.
During the opening season, the team, dubbed
"Gutter Girls,” composed of Sue Quint, Helen Quint,
and Bernadinc Prange, were victors.
High scorers next season will be awarded medals
by the owner of the Calumet Bowling Alley.

We're mighty proud of an association with yours and other leading schools which,
as makers of plates for quality printing, goes back many years.
Yes, we’re proud to salute you for your splendid response and whole-hearted
cooperation with national, state and local agencies in this war emergency.
What’s more, we’re proud to say that we, too, have gone to war. For the same
skill, experience and facilities — responsible for a distinguished peacetime record in
the field of photo-engraving — are today also serving the government in important
war production.
